existence Meanwhile, must toll ON up
20 that time for the sustenance OF nay

the clock struck 4. when he folded up his
manuscript and, BY his own hand, con-
cludcd his earthly life. There arc men in
this house who are perfectly discontsnted.

this Gospel well. This satisfies the soul
with high, deep, all absorbing and eter-
nal satisfaction. IL comes, and it offers
the most unfortunate man so much OF
this world as is best FOR him, and throws
all heaven into the bargain. The wealth
Of Crcesns, and Of all the Stewards, an Of
all the Barings, and all the kothsehilds Is
only poor, miserable shilling compared
with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers
you today. In the far east there was n
king who used once a year 10 get on a
scales, while on the other side tie scales
were placed gold and SILVER and gems; in
deed enough were placed there 10 balance
the king; then, nj the close Of the weigh

among the populace. But Christ today
steps on one side the scales, and on the
other side are all The treasures Of the uni
verse, and he says: "All are yours-al,
height, all depth, all length. all breadth,
all eternity; oil are yours" We don't
appreciate the promises OF the Gospel
When an aged clergyman vss dying-a
man very eminent in the thurch-a young
theological student stood by his side, and
the aged man looked up and said TO him:
Cant you give me somc comfort in my
dying hosrs' mo" said the young man:
II eaa't talk to yoa on this subject; you
know ali about it, and have known IL so
long" We'll" said the dying man,
Just recite to me some promises" The
young man thought moment, ard he
came to this promise: ''The blcod Of
Jesus Christ cleanseth from al sin; and
the old man clepped MS hands, and in his
dying moment said: "Thnt's iust ths
promise | have been waiting for The
blood OF Jesus Christ cleanseih from all
sin" Oh, the warmth, the grandeur,
the mcgnihcence Of the promiscs
